Andrea Dietrich and I had the joy of meeting each other. My husband and I took a trip out West. Sorry that the photo is sideways. I attempted to flip, but couldn't figure it out.

Two beautiful poets and ladies. I would have gladly lived temporarily sideways if that's what it took to spend time with y'all. I trust good memories were made. Thanks for sharing, Kim.

Andrea Dietrich

June 30, 2026 at 9:40 PM

Thanks, Caycay. If you had been with us, I can guarantee it would have been a riot!

Thanks for letting me know you were passing by. Just several months ago, an old high school friend met me for lunch on her way north , same as you and with her hubbie too. I have had the pleasure now of meeting a total of 4 poets that I only knew through online poetry. It's such a delight

Kim Rodrigues

June 30, 2026 at 10:31 AM

I hope they let us know. I had a wonderful time getting to know you! I’m glad you got to met my husband too. Glad you were open and had the time.

Andrea Dietrich

June 30, 2026 at 11:01 AM

Thanks , Paige. A long time ago , poets here were talking about a reunion. But we are just too spread apart . They would have to do it by country! Even then it would be too hard for Americans who live coast to coast

Kim Rodrigues

Thank you, Paige! No complaints!
